Chris Stapleton Makes His ‘Saturday Night Live’ Debut [Watch]

It has been a year of firsts for rising country star Chris Stapleton, and now he can add being the musical guest on Saturday Night Live to the list. The singer performed "Parachute" and "Nobody To Blame" on Saturday night (Jan. 16).

After the first half hour of sketches, Stapleton performed "Parachute," an album cut from the Traveller album. He then closed the show by performing "Nobody To Blame," his current single and biggest radio hit of his career. Wife Morgane was nearby adding background vocals as she often does. He seemed to quickly get over nerves if he had any and by the first chorus he was the same singer fans saw at the 2015 CMA Awards.

Stapleton released his debut album, Traveller in May 2015. That album earned him the title of CMA New Artist of the Year as well as CMA Album of the Year. The past eight months have been crazy for the up and comer, and we're so excited to see what the rest of 2016 has in store for him.
